    @mona9402_ @OverwatchES @PlayOverwatch It threw me when I had about 200 people in the queue. Now it doesn't even try, it gives me an error directly. I think I'll try it tomorrow anyway. 😑

  • Art_of_Melissa Melissa Peterson (@Art_of_Melissa) reported

    Wanted to try the new overwatch since the other onr ran weird on my computer. Randomly went down to 5fps. Guess they are having bad launch day server issues xD @Blizzard_Ent

  • gtrumpet93 Garrett Peters (@gtrumpet93) reported

    @OhBayBeeBayBee @BlizzardCS No, I never downloaded the beta. I have the original Overwatch, it updated to Overwatch 2 and now I'm getting an error message for a free trial of Overwatch.

  • anxiouscloud_ ayse (@anxiouscloud_) reported

    Waited in a queue of 20,000 players to try out Overwatch 2. Finally got into a lobby. Selected my character. Got booted out because of a server error. Put back into a queue of 40,000.... 🙃🙃🙃

  • saundersshots Saundersshots (@saundersshots) reported

    Waited 40 minutes for 9000 players in queue for overwatch 2, ended up failing relog the game and now I’m waiting for 40000 players. Typical launch day issues

  • Tuffty88 Simon (@Tuffty88) reported

    As expected, Overwatch 2 has login issues at launch. Appreciate it's over half an hour since it went live so I know I'm being impatient. Will come back to it later!

  • Zach_Spooky Spooky Zach (@Zach_Spooky) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers Overwatch 2? Don'tcha mean Overwatch 1.2? A proper sequel would fix all the errors and long queues with little problem.

  • GuardianZombie1 Bartholomew ⚡️122 (@GuardianZombie1) reported

    @iScenario I’ve gotten error coded twice now. I can’t believe blizzard could allow this to happen. I have been a blizzard defender since the beginning and this is how they repay me? Blasphemous. Overwatch 2 is gonna flop. 100%.

  • bottomcentre Daniel (@bottomcentre) reported

  • SorenCDN Soren (@SorenCDN) reported

    @aethevern @Carter_OW made a good point tho, the UI looks like ******* ***, **** isnt even centered properly… bottle that up with the ****** server issues and people getting scammed out of their overwatch coin (@Gurululz) and this is one dogshit release for a game that NEEDED a good one

  • Abernus69 Abernus (@Abernus69) reported

    @PlayOverwatch sat in the queue for 20 mins to play Overwatch 2. Get to the front of the queue only to be greeted with the error "Unexpected server error" and chucked to the back of the queue again.

    The fact that I can't play overwatch 2 because I have cricket is the dumbest thing ever @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch please fix this

  • gtrumpet93 Garrett Peters (@gtrumpet93) reported

    @OhBayBeeBayBee @BlizzardCS No, I never downloaded the beta. I have the original Oberwatch, it updated to Oberwatch 2 and now I'm getting an error message for a free trial of Overwatch.

  • xsghox . (@xsghox) reported

  • aretteepls nym™️ (@aretteepls) reported

    Watching Cat just take the scrap bomb of Overwatch 2 login difficulties straight to the face this is so sad

  • DJRockJones 'Hollywood' Rock Jones (@DJRockJones) reported

    So, Overwatch 2 is locked by SMS protection. Cool. The problem? BLIZZARD WON'T ACCEPT MY PHONE NUMBER FOR SMS!!!! This is literally the most ridiculous issue ever for a game that I ACTUALLY invested time, talent and treasure in.

  • orancorrigan1 orancorrigan (@orancorrigan1) reported

    @coolguy22_ @NintendoAmerica More like overwatch broken queue

  • WanderinTaco Positively Awful (@WanderinTaco) reported

    Glad Overwatch are addressing the server issues of logging on, but what about the issues with paid content? I would like the stuff I paid for.

  • vancleash Cory (@vancleash) reported

    @ww3thegame Keep it up! No game launch is perfect! Right now Overwatch 2 can't even work. Their servers are being hammered so much that the game is having 40,000+ queues and server errors. This coming from a game that has been out for years being labeled as new.
